THE SOUTH’S LEADING SEEDSMEN 
SINCE 1865 
It was in 1865 that Richard Frotscher began 
to distribute to the people of the South, pure 
selected seeds and plants, grown on Southern soil 
under Southern skies and Southern conditions. 
The marked superiority of these seeds and 
plants for Southern growing was instantly recog- 
nized. Success was immediate and orders began 
to pour in. 
In 1896, so extensive had become the opera- 
The Trade Mark tions of the business, it was found necessary to 
Geakes us Seeds Yeorganize and the J. STECKLER SEED CO., 
Ltd., was incorporated. 
Since that time, adhering strictly to the principles of purchasing 
and selection originated by the “‘Veteran Seedsman of the South,”’ 
there has been a continuous, steady increase in the business until 
now. Actually thousands of the South’s most successful growers 
are buying their seeds from us, exclusively, while as many more 
are getting such valuable results from STECKLER SEEDS they 
have used that they are fast approaching the class of 100% users. 
This record of achievement is the result of two things— 
(1) The sale of only the most carefully selected seeds and plants, 
grown under conditions most favorable to sturdy reproduction, and 
(2) A constant study of the requirements of our customers and 
our eagerness to meet these requirements with the most cheerful, 
painstaking, efficient service. 
Relying on your keen appreciation of the importance to you 
of these two factors in the success of your crops, we solicit your 
patronage and assure you of our hearty co-operation at all times.
